“With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea,
with my spirit within me will I seek thee early: for
when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants
of the world will learn righteousness.”
Isaiah 26:9.
God’s judgment is not only currently and firmly on
American soil, but on planet earth as a whole. As this
world’s civilization moves ever closer into the arena
of that of the antediluvian world we shall see
heartache and pain move from the micro to the macro.
Then “the
inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.”
I peruse various news
sites on the web attempting to get an idea of what’s
happening around this globe, this is something I’ve
done for quite some time now. The comments which
appear at the bottom of many news articles are
disturbing to say the least. They are consistently
overwhelmingly posted by folks who are either fed up
with the Fed or sick of the current administration’s
attempts at regulating their lives. The comments
themselves are filled with disdain for our American
government’s leadership. This may be difficult to
comprehend by folks in other countries as our
government’s leadership is elected by a majority of
voters here in America.
Almost immediately
after the election of 2008 a bombardment of complaints
began concerning America’s then current leadership and
pointed, in particular, at the newly elected president
who had determined that America was headed in the
wrong direction. It became apparent that he had an
agenda which included correcting the path the US had
been on for many years. He ran his campaign on the
premise of change. For a large part of the last four
years I continually read and heard the mass cry
“Anyone but Obama” as an alternative to Obama’s
apparent mismanagement of our Federal Government. All
this came from a fed up populous of voters who were
excited as they fully anticipated a change in
leadership would befall the US on November 6, 2012.
Interestingly, by a
huge majority of delusional American’s this man with
his agenda of change was re-elected, I presume so that
he might continue his agenda unimpeded. Even before
this man was inaugurated for his second term in office
the voices and rhetoric of distain had begun again. As
I stated, the current president was re-elected by a
huge majority, and I might add that for all intents
and purposes he destroyed his opponent’s political
career.
So, what does this mean
in terms of the future of America? It means that the
people of this great nation have spoken, and quite
loudly I might add. What this man did in his first
four years in office will be seen as nothing more than
political maneuvering compared to the changes he’s
poised to make in his next four. There are those in
leadership who are now calling for a change in the
United States Constitution so this man can be placed
in office for a third term, or even be re-elected for
life.
So the question, which
is also the title of this commentary, “When Will We
Ever Learn” seems quite appropriate at this juncture.
We now have a newly enacted law that covers our
healthcare in this country. Apparently, unbeknownst to
many, it includes some very restricting language that
will eventually affect every American. This
legislation which was and is very unpopular with the
very same electorate who placed this man in office for
a second term will be the undoing of many of our God
given rights. Now we see this president pushing to
remove guns from the hands of every law abiding
American citizen (watch for the confiscation of our
Bibles with huge bonfires to follow).
Taxes have skyrocketed
with the beginning of 2013 and not just for the
wealthy but for all, and of course the lion’s share
will come as usual from those who cannot afford them.
Our current leader has been rejuvenated by his success
at the voting poles and now feels fully justified in
his liberal agenda, which includes an aggressive push
on the following: the promotion of the legitimacy of
homosexuality which of course includes same sex
marriage, abortion on demand, and the trimester murder
of
fully
developed and perfectly healthy human beings (all
incidentally funded by the government) and now we see
the push to fully open our borders to all, free
healthcare along with welfare payments for all new
arrivals from other countries, but not for the natural
born citizen, and of course it goes on and on.
At a recent prophecy
conference in Texas, Hal Lindsey had spoken about how
America as it was purposed and as we once knew it is
already gone. I agree, and I’m sure there are other
writers who will agree, that America has seen its
better days. We are no longer in decline but we have
hit bottom, which is obvious from the electorate and
their overwhelming desire to place a man who sees
himself as our messiah, and who shows his every
aspiration is that of a dictator. America will not
survive in this mode. Since we don’t find America in
Bible prophecy, this could be a clue as to why. With
what is currently and constantly being exposed through
various news sites on the web, and I assume from your
local TV stations, this world has turned very angry
and evil. Kind of reminds me of what we read about in
our Bibles, and many of us believe transpired, in the
book of Genesis chapter 6.
This nation of ours has
fallen from grace. By eliminating the source of all
good (God Himself) from the sphere of our elected
officials we have set the stage for a coup. Satan
orchestrated that coup and has now set up camp in
Washington DC with his headquarters at 1900
Pennsylvania Avenue. Of course, he has branch offices
set up in the halls of Congress, as well as in the
Supreme Court building. So Americans can now be
assured that all three branches of government are
firmly in the control of the worst enemy humanity
could possibly imagine. Breaking that stronghold
cannot and will not be accomplished by the unbelieving
masses which allowed and even encouraged that coup.
So what is the mindset
of most of those who are the complainers on these
blogs I’ve mentioned? “We’ll take our country back. We
will surely see another civil war on American soil,
and soon. We will secede from the Federal government
and run our own states our own way.” Oh, I see. What
you are saying is that a bunch of softies who, for the
most part, have never had to defend themselves against
a foreign enemy and who are now living very
comfortable lives and growing old and debilitated are
going to stand up against the Feds by means of an
armed revolt?
Let’s consider the
logistics of that little maneuver and how it might
play out. We the people, well some of us at least,
armed with pistols, shotguns, a few deer rifles, and
the crème de la crème those pesky little AR15’s and
Ak47’s (which our current president and most liberals
and progressives simply hate) are going to engage an
enemy of far superior strength and weaponry? Our
purpose will be to take back our government, or
perhaps we will simply secede from the US. That
scenario sounds a lot like the Revolutionary War on a
mass of steroids. The Revolutionary War was, for the
most part, equal in terms of weaponry. There is
currently no equal, on this continent at least, of the
might of the US military.
Now let’s see what the
Feds have up their sleeve in regards to crushing any
dissention in the ranks. Last I heard the Feds had
developed a fleet of drones that are operated from
some air base in Arizona. These crafts are
stealth-like and even if they are shot down no
military personnel lose their lives. These crafts are
equipped with plenty of munitions which consist of
payloads which will ensure the decapitation of any
armed civilian revolt. Need I go any further? Okay
let’s try this one. The Feds have at their disposal an
enormous fleet of Military armored vehicles such as
M1A1/2 Abrams, which is the main battle tank of the US
that any revolutionaries would be wise to steer far
clear of. If one of these tanks rolls up your driveway
looking for hostile American terrorists (and that’s
what you will be classified as), you’re toast.
Keep in mind now that
revolution takes an army, and here in America there is
already a standing army of soldiers, all of which have
sworn to protect the United States of America. What is
a rag tag bunch of armchair quarterbacks and deer
hunters who have been seeking only pleasure for years
now going to do against a well trained military
presence that already occupies massive areas in every
state in this nation? To be sure, the Fed’s military
will have been given orders to shoot on sight anyone
attempting to bring revolt against an otherwise
peaceful nation. Military personnel will be convinced
that they are protecting the people of America against
an invading army of terrorists. They won’t be told
that the people they are killing in battle are
essentially the same people they’ve swore to protect.
Now that America has
turned the corner and is headed full on into
obscurity, what of God’s children?
We are sinners, every one of us. We’ve sinned
greatly as we have given in to the enemy on every
front. We’ve exchanged our morals for advantage, our
rights for luxury, and our minds for programmed
television – and God got the boot. But
“We have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:”
1 John 2:1.
We have been forgiven for all our failings. Now is the
time to turn from all unrighteousness and embrace
God’s precepts for our lives. God is very close at
hand and will not wait much longer before removing His
Ekklesia from this planet. “The night is far spent,
the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the
works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of
light.” Romans 13:12.
Americans live in a
nation whose roots are were established as a people
escaping tyranny. But by an obvious majority,
Americans are now fully accepting and even embracing
the very concept of tyranny. This is a sad commentary
on America but true. What can we do as God’s children
when confronted, as we are, with the obvious bleak
future of life in America, and the entire world for
that matter? “When Will We Ever Learn?”
As Christians we are to
stand firm on God’s word without wavering, but many
who claim to be Christians are not so inclined. As we
look around at the disappearance of our nation’s God
given rights, our once revered values, and the fact
that the populous has been horribly dummbed down, we
who proclaim Christ until He comes can be assured of
this truth – God has not abandoned His children. We
will not face even one day of America’s future without
Him. He is with us always.
“…for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.”
Hebrews 13:5.
We, the children of
God, have the power the failing governments of the
world can only dream of securing. Christians alone
have been given this power. We are the children of the
Most High God. How do we activate that power? Prayer.
We have a direct line of communication to the Throne
Room of God. Pray without ceasing. Take that step now.
Move into contact mode with your Father on High. He is
fully able to guard His children from the enemy’s
antics. Jesus Christ is our shield and our protection.
We are His righteous children. He’s waiting; His deep
desire is to hear from us – all of us. How many of you
will join me in praying that Jesus our Messiah removes
His Ekklesia before the enemy gains any further
strongholds in our land, or for that matter anywhere
on this globe?
God bless us all,
